CORNER-FASTENING.

.TO a, 1,077,071], 1173 may concern.-

Be it known that I, CARL D. KOESER, a citizen of the United States, ofOshkosh, in the county of Winnebago and State of Wisconsin, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Corner-Fastenings, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to corner-fastenings for chairs, tables, and. thelike.

My invention consists, essentially, in a tieplate having enlargedcylindrical ends adapted to be inserted in circular apertures bored inthe bottom of the side rails and means for tying the tie-plate to thecorner-post.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view ofa chair with my improved tie-plate shown as applied to the cornersthereof, parts of the chair being broken away. Fig. 2 represents a opplan view of my tie-plate, the same being shown as secured in a cornerof a chair. Fig. 3 represents a detail perspective view of my improvedtie-plate.

The drawings illustrate an adaptation of my invention to box-seatchairs.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 2 2 represent the side rails ofthe chair. Into the bottom of the side rails 2 2 are bored circularapertures 8 3, extending the proper distance into the rail.

4 represents the tie-plate, preferably of i Specification of LettersPatent.

residing at the city l Patented NOV. 20, 1906.

Application filed December 28,1905. Serial No. 293,667.

I metal, having enlarged cylindrical ends 5 5. l The tie-plateis easilyinserted in the apertures 3 3 and then bound to the corner-post 7 by 1either a screw or a tie-bolt extending through 3 5 l the centralaperture 6. In the drawings is j shown a T-head bolt 8, extendingthrough I the corner-post 7 and secured by the nut 9.

In myinvention exactness in boring the holes is not necessary,and nofitting is re- 0 quired, as the tightening of the bolt binds the wholecorner together. The tie-plate is preferably cast of malleable iron.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by g Letters Patent, is- 1 In an article of furniture,the combination. with a corner-post and two side rails in contacttherewith, each having a vertical circular aperture formed. therein, ofa tie-plate l l J I l i l comprising a body portion, enlargedcylindrical ends formed on said body portion at an angle thereto, saidcylindrical ends engaging the apertures in said side rails, and meansfor connecting said plate to the corner-post. I In testimony whereof Iaffix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
